Player2

I would have to limit myself to about half of the 500 I now have... one each on 500 accounts. Which 250 would I keep? I dunno, I'd narrow it down somehow.

As a comparison, here's Deep Web's original costume:

So after First Player's humbling awesomeness with Website, I went back and revamped Deep Web's primary costume... without being a complete ripoff, this is what I came up with: Deep Web Energy Melee / Electric Armor Stalker

I have the name Deep Web sitting around doing absolutely nothing as awesome as this.

Red Hot Hottie Fire Blast / Fire Manipulation Blaster

So I made a headless character with the empty jar and it got me thinking... Why are the only options for inside the jar Empty, Brain, and Brain with eyes? Why not a little dude all curled up, kind of like that alien in the head in that one scene from Men in Black? We have the graphics for it in the Nemesis Warhulks. Put a tiny demon in there, or maybe some of the vanity pets (targeting drone, faeire,, that glowing ball of light). Give us a few other options.

In this day of modern warfare on the criminal element, the good guys need an advantage against today's superhumans. Forget about the PPD Hardshell suits, they're old news. Gentlemen, I present to you: iTank Invulnerability / Titan Weapons Tanker "Let's just hope the bad guys don't get ahold of these."

As I pointed out in the original thread, the Johnny Sonata thing isn't the start of his arc, it's the start of Jezebel Jones' arc. She is the contact, although you are kidnapping someone for Johnny Sonata, but it's through him having hired Jezebel to make sure the job gets done (via the player being called in to do the dirty work). Her arc, I believe starts around level 30. Johnny Sonata has his own missions where he is the contact, and I believe they begin at level 35... and have nothing to do with the kidnapping someone for him to force himself on.

Your grav-troller found out about your cheating ways and will be looking to put a hurt on you. Watch out your car doesn't end up flying through space with Elon Musk's car.

When someone else takes a name (or when the game is still holding it in reserve from the previous account if you're trying to remake the name), it will tell you that the name is already taken. If the game is giving the message that it is not a suitable name, that means it is on the list of names that the game will prevent you from using. This list HAS been updated since the game was first opened up to us again. At first, there was little policing of names going on. Now they have a code of conduct and are enforcing certain name restrictions. If Burnt Toast or whatever is being held back, then there is probably a reason for it... I just can't imagine what it is.

Science-magic.

Jezebel Jones' arc, which is about kidnapping a woman for Johnny Sonata.

You robbed the bank to protect it, by making sure they have nothing inside for others to rob.

I have an Arachnos Widow named Espionage who went Rogue and sports the International Spy badge as she plays both sides as a double agent. Her Longbow uniform is definitely not regulation.

Ideally, I'd like to see it outside Praetoria, too.

I love the idea of Ancillaries (or even just regular pools) that tap into the lore/abilities of the various NPC groups. It would help establish the feel of characters built with those groups in mind as part of a backstory. Maybe we could see one for all the NPC groups of the game. It seems like it could be a bit overwhelming, but you could have them be both unlockable (like how the Villain Patron Pools are) and mutually exclusive like the "origin" pools so you can only "join" one group. Honestly, I think I'd prefer it as optional Pools than Ancillary / Patron because a lot of NPC groups cap at lower levels and you shouldn't have to wait til higher levels to get access to add a little thematic flair to your character's powers, and making them pool powers would keep things simple by having each set be a universal to all ATs instead of trying to balance different powers for each AT.

My foray into Trolls territory was a mixed bag... literally. A boss in the Skulls gang, struggling to makes something of himself and stand out from the rest... he got his hands on some Superadine and it wound up transforming him into... looks like a Troll, but still hits with all the negative energies of a Skull... but ultimately accepted by neither faction, and so struck out on his own under Arachnos's "Destined One" program in hopes of proving to be that one villain who will go the distance as Deathtroll.

Pretty sure I've seen Bowslinger before, because I'm remembering thinking this is an awesome character design and concept. The others are great, too. And there's no such thing as an "unhealthy" amount of characters, lore-related or otherwise.

Playing on both both blue and redside, you can often find NPCs holding civilians at gunpoint or otherwise intimidating them into submission. Player villains, however, can do no such thing. Civilians are just these invulnerable set dressing pieces walking around. Would love it if we could attack those people... even if it auto-killed with no XP or hit without doing damage but causing them to flee to the nearest door for safety. It would just feel more villainous.

I also made a Nemesis... The Nemesis, in fact. Sorta. Kid Nemesis is the temporally displaced young version of Nemesis, and he's not exactly happy with how he's going to grow up so he's currently fighting his older self's minions (and other enemies) to make Paragon City a better place. He's tiny at about 5 feet tall.

I don't know about most of you, but not only do I try to work COH lore into my characters backstory, I enjoy creating characters that fit into the NPC groups. For example, I have Longbow Mender, who is as his name implies a member of Longbow and Ouroboros. I also made Freedom Corps Rookie, one of those stand around vendors of power enhancements who decided that she was ready to strike out in the field even though she wasn't approved to join Longbow. So I was just wondering what kind of NPC-themed characters you've all made.

KB to KD is a workaround, but is it the best one? The problem with this solution is that it forces players to spend a slot customizing the power to be more useful to them when they could be using that valuable slot for something else. My recommendation would be to create a new IO enhancement that is both +Accuracy and also KB to KD. Using this would allow people to slot for the knockdown without having to sacrifice for it. I thought about maybe +Damage instead, but most people slot at least on accuracy into their powers, so this would allow the enhancement to do the job and also be used on attacks that might not deal damage.

Hellion League Golf is still a thing. Put on your best KB enhancers and see if you can get a hole in one in Atlas Park.

That's so good, I don't even know how to rip it off.
